Yea exactly, good luck enforcing some kind of rule with those numbers.


I don't feel sorry for the guys because they make a fortune. It is still appropriate to make sure the game is safe.

Different sport but I think eventually a player injured in a Thursday night NFL game is going to sue the league and his team for putting them in an unsafe condition and ruining their career. That un-guaranteed will get paid out quick with the right lawyers. Businesses never win with unsafe work conditions.

I'll never understand how this has become as issue. The NBA schedule hasn't changed in decades. Teams always played back to back and had overnight travel. Now they use luxury planes and more preventative care, but the guys are getting hurt more? It doesn't make sense.

Also, for some reason college teams can play in these tournaments where they play every day. But professionals can't do it? There were teams that played in conference tournaments (4 games in 4 days) that ended on a Sunday, then had to fly and play a play in game on Tuesday. Nobody complains for the college kids though. They want to play more.

NFL claims they have numbers that prove injury rates are actually lower on Thursday night games. There are bad MNF games.



As a person who tries to eat healthy I can assure you I can't base my life on every study about food / drink that comes down.

If one jumped on the first piece of medical data or study or safety stats we'd damn near starve & be afraid leave our homes.
